Research

I hope you have all signed up to the weekly Empire Newsletter which you will find very useful as part of your research.
Some people have been in touch about titles this is a good thing but I want you to keep an open mind until I have been able to present all the titles to you in full. Those of you who have come up with a title dont start work yet.

Dont be to specific and make sure you have been to the Library first to make sure there is sufficient existing research.

Have a look at the latest issue of Sight and Sound...here

Starting your research

Make sure you all have blogs set up I will then start following your blog so I can keep a record of what you are doing and recommend books sites etc. Similarly if you and anoother student are working in similar areas it would be good for you to share resources.

At the end of this week you should be able to start formulating a research topic but dont rush into it and think about how much existing research is out there.

A2 Coursework

After your lesson this week I want you to start building your blog put in a links list, blog list, video bar and make sure that you change the time format to London in Settings> formatting
Have a play around and if you missed the lesson make sure you are a follower of this blog as it will be the starting point for your Research Project

Make sure you have a look at thei site Film Studies for free an excellent site and a good video of George A Romero on there at the moment.

Start thinking about what you may want to research remember to think about how much information is out there on your chosen subject, obsequrity is good but make sure there is some written research around the area that you can use.

Any problems then see me
